A review:
From the catchy red face to the picture of a young
lady who appeared engrossed in her thoughts (though having savoured the
book I realized that lady was actually listening to everything happening around
her from the wisdom of the old/aged to the words of her Creator, whom she
describes as the “Lover of her soul," and the cries of her society), I was
convinced that I was holding a book with a beautiful content. If “judging a
book” and “judging its cover” were synonymous, books like “Preserve My Saltines”
would break the gravel.
For the first time I come across poems
that tell my story to the world, my love story, my daily struggle between
desires and the expectation of the God I serve, my environment, my dreams and
prayers.
Each time I pick up “Preserve
my saltiness,” I savour every piece with reflection. It's a collection of poems
full of wit and wisdom written with so much simplicity and creativity.
Jennifer certainly has grey hair, these words of
wisdom certainly didn't come from a woman with hairs as dark as mine.
Thank you Jennifer for sharing your thoughts, thank
you for standing for young women and for Christianity and thank you for
believing in our generation.
